Kim Jong-min from "Problem Child in House" revealed the secret to his 18-year endurance on '1 Night 2 Days'.
On the 19th episode of KBS2TV's entertainment program "Problem Child in House," Kim Jong-min, who received nationwide congratulations after getting married two months ago, appeared. Kim Jong-min, who was enthusiastically congratulated by his Koyote members, shared the reactions of Shinji and Baekga.
Song Eun-yi asked, "The Koyote members must have been surprised and happy, right?" Kim Jong-min replied, "Shinji and Baekga didn't believe it. They said to talk about it when the marriage is confirmed," adding, "The kids didn't believe it until I gave them the invitation, and then they were surprised."
Kim Suk asked, "What did Shinji say? Isn't Shinji your sister-in-law?" The close relationship between Shinji and Kim Jong-min was already well-known. Kim Jong-min boasted about his wife, saying, "Shinji praised her immensely, saying she's very meticulous and capable, so there's no worry at all."
Kim Jong-min has continued filming '1 Night 2 Days' for as long as he has been active in Koyote. Starting in his 20s, now in his mid-40s, Kim Jong-min has received recognition for his abilities, having won an entertainment award three times.
Hong Jin-kyung asked, "Isn't '1 Night 2 Days' a really tough show? But are you physically okay?" Kim Jong-min replied, "After 18 years of filming, I definitely feel exhausted. I started in my 20s and now I'm in my mid-40s," adding, "I take pride in it. I have traveled everywhere, including islands. I have attended events all over as Koyote," expressing his pride.
Kim Suk posed a realistic question, saying, "If you've been on the show for 18 years, how much has your appearance fee increased?" Kim Jong-min responded, "I don’t remember how much I received at first, but it must have doubled. Whenever the season changes and the members change, they adjust my fee accordingly."
He mentioned that he has particularly strong principles. Kim Jong-min said, "The secret to being on the show for 18 years is my rule to not complain too much," making everyone curious. Song Eun-yi asked, "Don't you have any complaints?" Kim Jong-min replied, "Of course I do. For instance, there are times when I don't think I'll get enough screen time. Still, I try it out anyway. I hope the production team feels it," revealing his compromises.
Yang Se-chan said, "The members who have been through in the past 18 years include Kang Ho-dong, Noh Hong-chul, Yoon Si-yoon, Lee Joon, and Na In-woo," and asked him to pick 6 desired members.
In response, Kim Jong-min stated, "The first good member is Eun Ji-won. The second is Lee Seung-gi, the third is Cha Tae-hyun, the fourth is Kim Jun-ho, and the fifth is Moon Se-yoon." He explained, "The reason I chose Eun Ji-won is that we need a member who complains a bit," adding, "Lee Seung-gi has so many talents. He's good at communicating with adults and excels at everything. He’s a great asset," and, "Cha Tae-hyun makes people comfortable,” then continued, "Kim Jun-ho, he is a little off; just because he’s older, I have to keep him around," and, "The reason I chose Moon Se-yoon is that he accomplishes whatever he's assigned."
